Isn't there a rule where you have to have your top 30 settled by the 30th June.....if so, they are going to cut it very fine. By my count with the great news about Kepaoa we are now down to 27, so 3 spots that need to be filled.....hopefully they are not planning to promote any more juniors to make up the numbers.
You can use players that you have released in your top 30 if you have paid them above a certain amount. We did it with joffa last year.

I only read about his "away from footy" issues in the media so I'd be relying on you having better "intel" than me on his genuine issues - and that wouldn't be hard.Brandon smith?
His issues away from football are not worth the risk in my opinion.
But, he's a seriously elite footballer at his best and might be worth a punt at the right price. Elite is what WT lack right now with the exception of Api.
And that's the thing, if he didn't have off field issues, he'd never sign with us (he still probably wouldn't). We are in a position now where to build a strong roster we have to sign good players that have off field issues, or develop juniors, or pay massive overs.I only read about his "away from footy" issues in the media so I'd be relying on you having better "intel" than me on his genuine issues - and that wouldn't be hard.Brandon smith?

Smith would be, with Api, our best players by a lot. Right now we should have one focus, and that's to improve our roster. We aren't in the position where we can pick and choose. We are the worst team in the comp, by far.

I think he would probably sign with us, he will be desperate for money once the Roosters let him go.

He is definitely an elite footballer, my concern is his issues have a high probability of destroying team harmony. If we were design him hopefully, he gets it sorted because he is an amazing footballer.

Lots of young and easily influenced kids in our team, keep him far away, short term adrenaline hit would not outweigh the medium and long term damage. He has a couple of major problems, both of which are already tempting a large number of younger people in sport and across society. He will end up at the dogs in my opinion.I only read about his "away from footy" issues in the media so I'd be relying on you having better "intel" than me on his genuine issues - and that wouldn't be hard.Brandon smith?

Asu kepoa off to Penrith
let's hope we can get Brandon Smith from Roosters, combine that with Schuster cheap and add Luai we have some x factor in the team
Add Hunt from sharks plus another pommy forward and ley Stefano walk.

some remarkable comments from Douhie in here. Basically saying that he thinks he will be back in the firsts next week if he gets through this weekend. Says he wants to sets standards and the kids can pull their heads in or play in reserves

No self awareness of his abilities at all.

@garry yes he’s a bit of a weirdo in that sense. But I do prefer someone who at least pretends to love the club
I reckon Galvin to Roosters 2025 and they may offload Brandon Smith to us to gain the release. Or does Richo ask for Billy Smith
not sure where we play Brandon maybe a running 13 and cover for Api

That’s a poor trade for us.
